One statement by Naaman's slave girl in 2 Kings 5:3 hints at a complex backstory. What was her motive? Self? Pride? Love?

Evidently Naaman was a good man, loved by kings and slaves alike. Yet he had no knowledge of the God of Abraham. Even so, God loved Naaman, the enemy of Israel. He knew the man's heart and revealed to him His own in turn.

Sometimes bad things happen to good people so that they will know even better things. #tazria

Elisha fed 100 with 20 loaves. Yeshua fed 5000 with 5 loaves. Elisha was a great prophet. #yeshua is that much greater and more.

Elisha acted on God's promise despite contrary evidence because he had #faith, the "evidence of things unseen." We don't need to understand how God works to believe that He works.
2 Kings 4:43-44

I've been re-reading an excellent book called Make It Stick, and it has been reminding me of how our brains learn new things. I am continually in awe of my Creator and how nothing about me or my children is a surprise to Him. He is wise beyond comprehension—yet He promises to give wisdom to me whenever I need it. HalleluYah! https://archive.aweber.com/awlist6425868/JoTuE

Deception is the enemies primary way of eliminating mankind. Satan, the devil or whatever name you use to describe the enemy of our Creator certainly overheard what He said to Adam about eating the fruit and twisted those words to deceive Eve. He may have thought he would be able to end mankind in the garden but our Creator is far more gracious and loving and will not allow evil to prevail.

?1 John 3:4

Tiferet of Gevurah

Not just love but compassion has to drive discipline. Love comes from recognizing one's merits and positive qualities (discipline channels and directs those strengths and weeds out the negative). Compassion is unconditional love. It is love just for the sake of love, not considering the others position. Tiferet is a result of total selflessness in the eyes of G‑d. You love for no reason; you love because you are a reflection of G‑d.

Does my discipline have this element of compassion?

Exercise for the day: Be compassionate to someone you have reproached.
